When a child needs extensive dental work, has special needs, or is too young to understand dental treatment, medication can help the child relax. As a specialist in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Turner believes in approaching each child’s care individually.

During his pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. Turner had extensive training on the various forms and ways to provide in-office sedation. Dr. Turner is a specialist in providing nitrous oxide analgesia (laughing gas), prescription oral medication, and in-office oral conscious sedation (patient is in a sleep type state). When necessary, Dr. Turner is on staff at several local hospitals and can provide care under general anesthesia in an outpatient fashion. The patient is monitored and assessed throughout the course of treatment to provide the best care possible.

Dr. Turner is certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
